Recomendation for performance mods
Whatsup everyone. Today coming back home I got my *** whooped by some 12' 328i. It kinda pissed me off lol. I wasn't that far away from him either but still. I just wanted to know what performance mods are out there thatll increase my cars speed and hp? From cheapest to the most expensive what's out there? I'm saying this Cuz I do want to start doing performance mods on it but I'm limited to money since I'm spending a large amount of it on school. Just curious so let me know thanks.

01 AE with 117k miles. Muffler delete only

He said he has limited $$ for mods...Besides, for projects like that, you need two cars. One daily while the project car gets worked on.

No matter what you do, there will always be a car out there that's faster than yours.

I believe it's a 2.0L turbo 4 with 240 hp and 260 lb/ft of torque. Even with light mods I don't think you'll touch it. You need to go supercharger or something, and that gets expensive.

A VQ35 would have taken it on, but not the 3.0L. Remember the 6 has a much greater power band than any 4.

The average age in this forum is like 30+. So most members have gone past the need for speed phase or moved on.

You been there? I have, and have been helping. I have helped a pretty good amount of members here, and have on one my way to my house right now as we banter. Just say bye to another potentially good dude that is asking for help. This forum is very ****ty to anybody that asks a question.


The Wizard and a few others on here seem to actually give a crap and help people, but most don't.

. Nope i never been there i need my car for work not to go fast, he wants another car that goes fast and handles better ,i dont blame him ...so do i... But i cant just run and spent 10k on a m3 and another 10k to sooup it up to make it faster than a Z06 and the vicious cycle begins I guess i should have named all the bolt on mods available that have been posted over and over this forum just cuz he cant search, this is no different than other forums where you get ignored for asking dumb questions,

Nah.....you get ignored here because not many have any good useful information on performance mods.


IF a guy asks for information, either help or don't, but don't be rude about you not wanting to help him.

I'm 30 and use the maxima as a comfortable ride.
Short ram or exhaust you're just wasting money. Noise=hp?
This maxima is not a GTR or an inefficient carbureted motor from the 50s.
where just a filter can help.

You need boost or another engine.

Like replacing the intake tube with a metel pipe, "oh I fel it. definitely some power increase" ok buddy.
I used to be 23 years old too with a 87 honda. I put 91oct in it and I definitely fel the powa!
Need for speed my 500hp bmw does it. Not the maxima.
